The 22nd International Conference committee invites you to submit technical
papers for presentation in June 2002 in Espoo, Finland. This three-day
conference will be organized by the AES Finnish Section, the Helsinki
University of Technology’s Laboratory of Acoustics and Audio Signal
Processing, and Nokia Research Center. It will bring together researchers
and developers in the fields of virtual and synthetic audio, as well as
entertainment audio applications, targeted particularly to PCs, the
Internet, and mobile devices. Sound analysis, modeling, and synthesis
techniques will be considered, from sound sources through to the room
acoustics and the listener. The issues of coding, delivery, presentation,
and rendering of natural and synthetic audio will be emphasized with
respect to immersive and interactive applications such as games, sound
effects, virtual reality, virtual program production, and telepresence.
Perceptual issues will also be considered for these pleasure/leisure
applications.
